Abstract: A shock absorbing device is adapted for damping impact transmitted from a front wheel of a stroller. The device includes left and right lever members, left and right front leg members, a pair of coupling members, and a pair of biasing members. Each lever member has an anchoring end adapted to be secured to one end of a front wheel axle, and is pivotally mounted on the coupling member. Each front leg member has one end connected to a seat frame of the stroller, and the other end retained in the corresponding coupling member. The biasing members are disposed to bias engaged ends of the front leg members to move towards or away from intermediate portions of the lever members when tensioned or compressed.
